Nancy Pelosi tweeted the hashtag #LawlessPresident, what a joke she is. It's like a cop yelling lawless guy when they see someone robbing a bank. I am not sure who I dislike more Pelosi or Orange Buffoon. Well probably Buffoon but Pelosi isn't far behind. DO A FUCKING IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY ALREADY! The response to her tweet were 90% saying she should impeach. She's a dumb person, she is assuming impeachment will make the Democrats lose but when Clinton was impeached over fewer crimes and not being a lifelong criminal the opposing party WON the election in 2000. It's called history. Look it the fuck up. Bill Clinton was likable, Orange Buffoon is not. There's no reason not to impeach, Pelosi has no idea what she's doing and should be removed from her role.

Sarah Huckabee-Sanders left the Buffoon administration, no big surprise. Rumors about her leaving were going around for at least six months. She probably hated her job as Press Secretary, the briefings were unusually rare under her probably because she had no credibility and/or sucked at her job. If you're keeping score this is the second press secretary to leave, the first was a joke too. I wonder what clown they'll put up next..

I am sick of stories about anti gay bigots like that rugby fuckwit last week. I know I did a story but there's an update to the story, which I will not read and will not cover. People don't need to know about a new attack by a bigot. At a certain point the media is just giving publicity to these people. Such companies are making a choice to do so. They're giving people bigger microphones, they should stop. Before the free speech brigade cries, free speech does not entitle you to have news stories written about you.Of course the media can decide who they give attention to, but right now their decision sucks!

Steven Crowder is a comedian, but personally I think he can more accurately be described as an asshole. A journalist complained that he was getting constant gay slurs from Crowder and this violated YouTube's terms of service, which it does. YouTube since responded claiming it doesn't but offered no further clarification. I think it's a case of selective enforcement. The channel has since been demonetized; if he was doing nothing wrong why demonetize him? I believe that YouTube has the right to decide what is on its platform (conservatives don't btw) but the journalist should look into harassment laws and if appropriate take action against Crowder or YouTube. Crowder does punch down comedy and pokes fun of the powerless; he once imitated a person in a wheelchair and does similar to trans people. Comedy usually punches up because if you do that you're not being a complete asshole.
A few idiots in Boston want a straight pride parade, because, they want to be victims and/or deeply insecure about their sexuality. Sure that's not the official reason, but read between the lines! I don't mind a straight pride parade but I don't see a reason for it. Nobody is stopping people from being straight, people aren't bullied for being straight, laws aren't passed against straight people, straight sex is not banned in some countries, neither is straight marriage. As Cenk Uygur says some people can't wait to be victims. Boohoo we don't have a straight parade. If you think you need a straight parade, you're probably not straight.

Nobody is told they're going to hell just because they're straight.

An (probably closeted) Australian rugby player Israel Folau is suing because he keeps telling gay people they're going to hell on social media and was fired. Firstly many organizations have good character clauses, he broke that though honestly those things are just a catch all for anything controversial and is selectively enforced. I don't like organizations dictating what people can or can't say in private. However it's not exactly private if you said it on social media to thousands of followers that you only have because of your sport. The majority of them only give a shit about him because of his career. Some of them might be struggling GLBT and telling them they're going to hell might not be something they need. Do organizations including corporate sponsors have to deal with homophobia? Shouldn't they be allowed to exercise their rights not to support someone? It also escapes them from further bad press and boycotts; if something rises to that level something ruled by capitalism would have to act, which by the way is the free market at work. The free market has decided the guy is an asshole.

The right wing won the recent election in Australia. According to a commentator I follow the Labor leader was piss weak and stood for nothing other than we're not the tories. It is clear that the strategy is a loser. Didn't work for the Democrats in 2016, didn't work for NZ Labour in 2008. We're not the tories isn't a viable election strategy and does not inspire people to vote for you.

I don't want to give credit to Orange Buffoon but maybe he's on to something with the nickname Sleepy Joe Biden. Joe Biden believes he can work with Republicans when he gets in. Was Biden in a coma throughout Obama's entire presidency? Republicans didn't let Obama do anything. The right-wing solution to health-care got NO votes from the right-wing party, although many Democrats lean right-wing by international standards, it got NO Republican votes. Obama kept reaching out, the Republicans kept punching him in the face. The same thing will happen. Biden is not great on policy but this also shows a deep lack of understanding of the political climate in the USA today, and hell the political climate in the last decade.

Nancy Pelosi said that she'll pray for Orange Buffoon after he stormed out of an infrastructure meeting. While this was wonderfully patronizing Ben Dixon had the best commentary; this sounds like thoughts and prayers after a massacre, they do nothing. Nancy: Don't pray, impeach!

If I was her I would get every Democrat to go on TV and say constantly he's a criminal (because it's fucking true) then I would start impeachment proceedings, go through the documents that would be uncovered because of the inquiry. Then I would likely have a new set of crimes, the Democrats will just repeat criminal criminal criminal throughout. If the Republicans don't convict at least his name will be toxic. This is how you fucking do politics!

Hillary Clinton partly lost because they turned her name to shit! They investigated the shit out of her, even though the investigations found nothing. You already have an investigation that uncovered crimes and it only scratched the surface. Stop being so fucking weak and enforce the law!

Over the past few weeks it has basically been Democrats subpoenas, Buffoon administration, Buffoon administration ignores subpoena. William Barr has been held in contempt of congress/kind of/but not really, which doesn't go far enough. They should jail every administration official that doesn't comply with the s, throw them all in jail until they do what's legally required of them.

Buffoon Jr has been subopened by the senate which is an interesting twist as it is republican controlled. I predict it will be a bunch of soft ball interviews, but I could be wrong.

Facebook banned a bunch of horrible people and misfits. Someone that says Sandy Hook was fake (or an inside job, I don't remember) went on the Alex Jones show and said she wasn't a conspiracy theorist. LOL if I was going to say that I wasn't a conspiracy theorist the last possible place that I would announce it would be on Alex Jones. How ridiculous. I don't think that you should be be banned from online platforms just for being a conspiracy theorist. On the other hand saying that grieving families are actors is slanderous. Conspiracy theorists sometimes are a public nuisance when they convince people that climate change is a hoax. Private corporations are about profits, they are not responsible for enforcing free speech. If they get sued because they allow slander that will eat into their bottom line and that is a problem for them. Government regulations may fix this but ironically some right-wingers that want to say racist and conspiratoral nonsense hate regulations. They need to decide what they hate more corporate censorship or government regulations. Corporations are just not going to allow people to post everything, clearly that idea is just ideological and does not translate into the real world, much like their economic ideas. Another option would be to crowd fund a platform that's hosted in Panama or somewhere similar that ignores laws.

A redacted version of the Mueller report is out, I changed my mind. I did say there was no collusion during the election, but this is only part of the story. The Tower meeting proves the intent to collude by Buffoon Jr and possibly others, which is still a crime. Also Buffoon tried to obstruct justice about ten different times, again this is still a crime even if the idiot was unsuccessful. My conclusion remains the same, lock this fucker up. Actually scrap that, lock his son up too.

Pete Buttigieg is running for president, he has fuck all policy (because he's a corporatist) and should be ignored. As mayor he didn't do anything about racist police officers. He's for taking big donor money. He recently spoke badly about Bernie Sanders supporters. Hillary Clinton was also dismissive of Bernie supporters, that didn't work out for her. I've noticed a similar trend as the 2016 Republican primary, the media picks their favourite for a few weeks then whoever fizzles out. His answer for health-care is the public option, which is not great but meh. The problem with that is that health-care companies just push the really expensive people to the government plan which makes it less efficient than universal health-care. He doesn't believe in universal college. His attitude is neoliberal and short sighted as once you take away the debt people have more money to spend in the economy which will grow it. I am NOT a bleeding heart liberal; people annoy me. I am just for smart economics instead of the neoliberal crap which doesn't work for most people Despite being gay he gets a NO from me because his ideas suck.

There's countless other candidates that I haven't reviewed and probably would be pointless to review. I'll do one occasionally.

Joe Biden announces, I already hate his campaign. His announcement video sucked, no policy at all. I just got he's not Orange Buffoon from his video. His video felt empty of an actual vision apart from let's go back to when we weren't racist. Terrible ad, terrible candidate!

A terrorist attack happened over easter in Sri Lanka. There is not much to say, terrorism is horrible, ISIS is horrible. I believe that Orange Buffoon claimed victory over ISIS a few weeks ago, well I guess he was mistaken. Sounds like Bush's mission accomplished moment. The US needs to employ smarter strategies against fighting terrorism. The death toll is over 300. It's a tragedy for the country and the people involved.

Buffoon fired the homeland security head, apparently because she wasn't willing to break the law as much as Buffoon would have liked. On the one hand I say let the bastard break the law, perhaps he'll get impeached. On the other hand he has broken "many many" laws so who knows if that will happen.

The head of the secret service has been fired because a Chinese spy was found at Mar-a-Largo. Not sure why the secret service is responsible for a private company. (update, these things are not connected) The entity that hired the spy is obviously run by dumb people. All they had to do was pay $200,000 for a membership, perhaps they didn't have the money. I know I don't.

There's another Chinese woman selling access to Buffoon, she had ladies of the night in her last line of work I believe. I think she is under investigation. If all parties were consenting, I don't really care but it is one more publicly blunder for the Buffoon administration and it is amusing.

Joe Biden is under fire for making women uncomfortable. Firstly this is not new news. He has a reputation of being creepy old Joe! Considering Buffoon has about 6 assault allegations against him, well if nobody like Joe can be in office, Buffoon must resign immediately. Do we have a deal. Biden was joking about the situation earlier in the week which angered some parts of the left. Bottom line: nobody's accusing him of assault unlike Buffoon so if it is Biden vs Buffoon, vote for Biden. However Biden is too centrist for me, so I hope that he loses the primary if he enters.

I just watched a clip from Cenk Uygur about Buffoon may be unwell because he said his father was born in Germany when he was born in the US. Two problems with this. Buffoon is mentality unwell, no shit! Second problem, this isn't the first time he said this. I believe he said this in the Art of the Deal book and on his UK visit. So this alone doesn't indicate deterioration. You're not going to convince me otherwise. He said more crazy things, wind power causes cancer, republicans lost the midterms because of forged votes, Mueller report had oranges. You didn't misread the last one. Perhaps that would indicate deterioration. The other stuff is typical crazy Buffoon.

Mueller didn't find collusion before the election; this doesn't mean that a deal wasn't made after the election. This also means I was right all along. Democrats should have impeached him before the Mueller report on other charges. They still should impeac. He committed obstruction of justice clear as day, plus the illegal hush money payments, several constitutional violations, fraud before he was election. How many crimes can this guy commit before anybody in Washington holds him accountable? This is a serious question. I'll just quote what Orange Buffoon said about the central park five after they were found innocent. He "must be guilty of something".

I still haven't learned the last name of the Christchurch terrorist and I hope it stays this way. Luckily people have stopped posting pictures of him on social media. I will not be reading his manifesto either. The justice system will deal to him no matter what, there's no point getting angry. Anger is fine if you can change things or entertain people. Neither applies to this situation. There's also no point of view or arguments in this situation. So the terrorist is best forgotten about and the focus must be on the victims.

I did watch Leaving Neverland and I left with one conclusion, the parents were idiots. One quote stuck with me "He could go anywhere, he could do anything, but he wanted to spend time with my son". That sounds like a major red flag to me. The parents were idiots. I am not victim blaming, the parents were not the victims. Of course Jackson should have faced justice, but he was rich, so that didn't happen. It was mostly an one sided movie but there's also the settlement, multiple other court cases, medical book material found at his home. It's sad to think a guy that I admired in my younger days did those things. I guess that's life.

There has been a terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand where I live. The target were Muslims. I don't feel like addressing anything else. I can say I think the government has the right solution. Luckily they appear to be following the Australian solution rather than the US which frankly offers no solutions whatsoever so massacres keep happening. Luckily we don't have the NRA buying off politicians. Nobody needs access to military grade weapons except the military. I don't care about your sport or duck shooting. People claim they're being punished due to the attack. Are you being punished by the government not allowing you to have tanks or nuclear weapons? I know they're taking it away but the fact is countries without assault rifles don't have these types of attacks. For me the real question is why after the dozens of massacres in the US those weapons were still able to be purchased here? Some of those lives could have been saved. You can't kill as many people with other types of people with other types of weaponry, that's just a fact. Also this is proposing a solution, not politicizing a tragedy to be clear. I don't accept people are politicizing a tragedy by proposing solution. If you don't have a solution it would be more likely to happen again.

The terrorists will probably claim Muslims are the violent ones. This is not true. Many groups have their radical fringes; they do not speak for everyone in the group. The only violent ones here are the white supremacist terrorists.

I was once accused of defensive of Muslims. I am not defensive of Muslims, I am just not a bigot.

The problem is that people believe things about the Muslim community that are just not true. People prefer to hate than fact check and their ideas accumulate. Sometimes it leads to this.

Earthquakes, a terrorist attack, what's next? Christchurch again needs to heal. Also frankly you could better do this by staying away from Facebook comments.

Some people believe that Michael Jackson's music should be gone because of his alleged abused. I say alleged but honestly I am just saying alleged for the sake of saying alleged. I believe he was a predator. I never believed he was, but after medical book material with graphic images was found at his home, I really don't see any other explanation, sorry. Plus he did settle a court case. If you don't believe he's a predator, you probably have a bad case of blindness due to emotional attachment. I don't want to argue with people online about this, I don't care what you believe. Maybe I am wrong. Allegations go back 25 years, and that is my problem with this. Suddenly they decided to take away his music? Huh? It's possible that the combination of the documentary and the modified culture lead to this. Perhaps it is a sign of culture evolving.

If you've been a victim of abuse I can understand why people celebrating such a man make you uneasy.

However the music industry full of creeps and abusers; mostly to a lesser extent than Jackson's allegations. The sad reality is that you'd exclude a lot of artists depending of what threshold you start the acceptable level of behaviour.

Thinking about it objectively this doesn't really affect my life and doesn't really hurt anybody, so whatever. I don't really care if he isn't on the radio but would point out they should have done that when he was alive for the sake of consistency. I also see why people may think they're punishing the fans. Ultimately I have better things to worry about than whether Michael Jackson is allowed on the airways.

Commander Bone Spurs is in Vietnam (finally) he has done a deal with Kim Jong-un. I use the term deal loosely as it asserts North Korea will scale back nukes but the US is not going to verify anything. In other words it's nothing. My best interpretation is that the US government knows that North Korea will not give up their nukes so they wanted to do a deal, without doing a deal. Farron Cussins speculates that Orange Buffoon just wants to build towers in North Korea; although I really don't think that would be worth his while. He bankrupted casinos and tried to sell Vodka to Russians, even if it is bad business sense, that is totally his M.O.

Michael Cohen testified against Orange Buffoon, some notes
He didn't plan on winning the election, so my first instinct was right.
He knew about the tower meeting, not surprised.
He paid back Cohen the hush money payment after the election and it was solely because of the election that he paid. Again not surprised and he theoretically could be impeached over this..
He knew about the Wikileaks email dump before it happened.
Cohen threatened Buffoon's schools not to release his grades. Proving my point that he has always been an idiot.

Apart from the last I'm not surprised by most of it. Everyone is saying bombshells but frankly I kind of assumed most of the points already. I did go back and forward on whether he wanted to win. I'll take the word of his lawyer.

Meanwhile in New Zealand the Tax Working Group recommended a Capital Gains Tax. The over cynical side of me says that they must have built a time machine as this was Labour's policy in 2011. I am not entirely clear why people say it'll be too complicated considering most of the OECD has it. You tell them that they shift the goal post saying the US has it and it hasn't reduced inequality, which completely ignores the fact that since the Regan administration taxes have gone down, which ironically is an argument for more taxation. A quick look on Wikipedia reveals there are about a dozen countries with higher income and sales taxes than us. I am not arguing for a C.G.T. here but facts are facts. I say we tax Facebook and block the site if it doesn't pay, because if it doesn't pay at least the fucking site will be blocked.

Jenny Shipley and other Mainzeal directors were ordered by the High Court to pay combined compensation of $36 million to Mainzeal creditors. My only point is why do right winger leaders suck at business?
Rodger Douglas had a failed pig farm.
George W Bush had a failed oil company.
Orange Buffoon had failed casinos, plus at minimum five other failed businesses.
Perhaps they just suck at managing things.

I for one am grateful a national emergency has been declared. The president is an idiotic lunatic. One should have been declared on inauguration. Of course it's not the reason Orange Buffoon declared one, he just wants funding for his ridiculous border wall. A border wall that is completely unnecessary as crossings has remained stagnant for years, more drugs are found at legal ports of entry, undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates because they don't want to be sent back, the economy feeds on immigration and people overstaying their visas is a good portion of illegal immigration. Additionally people can just dig under walls. So there is no emergency and even if there was a border wall wouldn't fix it.

Orange Buffoon said he "didn't need to do this" in reference to the national emergency. I'm not entirely sure that he knows what an emergency is.

I predict that this will get struck down in court which would give Orange credibility to say to his moronic base that he did everything possible and but the wall could not be built. Which ignores the fact that he could have gotten it very easily by holding the tax cuts hostage, luckily he's a complete idiot and never thought of this.

Bernie Sanders is running for president. Cue the hatred from the establishment because he would represent the people instead being a corporatist. I hope that he wins. Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard are good enough choices but they have their issues with electability. He has name recognition, filled stadiums of people last time and has a constant net positive approval rating. On the other hand he will be constantly demonized especially in the media. He will be a massive gamble but I say roll the dice. Ironically Orange Buffoon have conditioned a percentage of people to hate the media so that may lessen the effect. While true that he didn't win the primary last time 40% against the "Clinton machine" with the media being favorable towards Clinton was a good effort, he did even better with independents. Money could be a problem but I believe Orange Buffoon won with less money than Clinton so who knows.

Amy Klobuchar is running for president, I don't know who she is or her record. I do know she's not for Medicare For All so we can put her in the centrist category. She has barely been featured in progressive news shows which tells me that she's not that amazing and the lack of a public profile does not tell me that she has prepared well for a run. Meh.

This week I feel like a rant: In New Zealand someone spotted an advertisement saying \'stop gender self identification, call your M.P. today". I bet these are the same assholes who would say the left is all about identity politics, while they spend time and money advocating against an identity issue. Why is self identity a problem? Why? These people should mind their own business. Right wingers say that the left wants to control people's life's, well what the fuck are you doing? If this isn't controlling people's life, I don't know what is.

Self identification isn't an actual problem. CLIMATE CHANGE IS! IT IS CAUSING WILDFIRES, FLOODS AND OCCASIONALLY EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS, CAN WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT??? It will only get worse causing food shortages and even more natural disasters. No matter how many times President Orange Fuck Face tweets about it's snowing so there's no global warming, 99.7% of scientists say that climate change is happening. Unlike him they understand the difference between the global temperature of the climate and a cold day.

Self identification really doesn't affect anyone but the people who want to identify as their preferred gender. The same people who call people on the left snowflakes are spending money on an issue that really doesn't affect them.

I also have no time for people saying Star Wars is ruined because they made characters black. Or they made Buffy black, I'm a little snowflake so I'm melting down over fiction I don't have to watch. Oh for fuck sakes. How about you get offended by poverty and the state of the global environment instead of the fact Bond is now a woman. Seriously, fuck off! Oh you're against Social Justice Warriors but spend time constantly complaining about them instead of focusing on real issues.

I spend time complaining on how I'm not allowed in mosh pits by some asshole venues that don't even have a legal requirement to do so as far as I can tell. However I acknowledge that it isn't the biggest issue facing humanity. At least I'm not getting upset over fictional characters or denying people rights because it offends me.

Venezuela had its election and it was not democratic. Countries are using this to get dictator out of power. Putin also runs rigged elections I don't remember the same calls to get him out of power. Orange Buffoon lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million. Yes the people are not starving but there's billions of starving people that the US does not help.

This is about oil and the hatred of a left government, nothing more.

John Bolton said that it would be different if US oil companies could invest in the country. I guess he's OK with starving people as long as US corporations make money.

Regime change will be another clusterfuck brought to you by the Neocons.

Speaking of clusterfucks the US has pulled out of a treaty which bound them to stop building nuclear weapons. Russia has responded by saying that it will begin developing nuclear missiles. Clusterfuck!

Richard Ojeda left the Democrat primary race. He felt going up against the corporate machines was pointless for the average man and didn't want people to waste their money. I didn't think that he had a hope in hell anyway.

Cory Booker is running for president, he's a Wall Street Democrat. He voted against a bill which would have allowed the import of pharmaceutical drugs which would have resulted in lower prices and is enthusiastic about charter schools. I give him a hell no!

I don't have much to say, government is still shut down. You could end the shut down in two words: 25th amendment! The president is literally too crazy and stupid to keep the government open. "Bye bye" The republicans enable Buffoon. They also could open the government tomorrow if they wanted, through overriding a veto. They're choosing not to. The republicans deserve equal blame. Also the felonies are piling up. Impeachment could be an option, if the republicans had guts, which they don't. Yes blame the fucking republican politicians for this mess. Maybe they should just say they're giving him border wall funding but not put it in the bill, it's not like he will read it.

Julian Castro comes off as a extremely fake corporate politician, actually all three do.

Kamala Harris is famous in progressive circles for not prosecuting One West bank which ripped off people. The head of it is now the treasury secretary. Drain the swamp? Yeah right!

Kirsten Gilibrand was a Corporate Democrat two years ago but after 2016 she's suddenly a progressive Democrat. Even if you believe she's change there's more reliable progressive Democrates in the race. Gilibrand is more savvy than Hillary Clinton about pandering to the left. I got the impression that Ana Kasparian thought that Kirsten researched Ana's political positions and was pandering to her. She said that her campaign will be about gender issues, which I take as code for "I'm going to do fuck all about income inequality".

The US government is still shut down. It is affecting White House meals so Orange Buffoon ordered stacks of McDonalds and other fast food. I am not making this up, which is a common phrase I use to report on this administration because everything is so fucking ridiculous. You can see pictures on Twitter of him smiling near stacks of fast food, he's a fucking clown. It isn't the biggest problem of the shut down. National parks have gone to shit and workers are forced to open up GoFundMe campaigns because they aren't being paid. TSA workers are not showing up again because they're not getting paid. Having fast food at the White House isn't the biggest problem however replacing prepared meals with commercialized fast food is wonderfully symbolic of this administration and perhaps the Republican approach to governing in general.

Tulsi Gabbard is running for president; I at first was really enthused but after more information has come to my attention Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would probably be better however Tulsi would be a much better choice than any of the corporate Democrates. Political hack Howard Dean has been attacking her anti gay past. OK let's look at the Clintons' anti gay past. Bill Clinton signed anti gay legislation and Hillary Clinton didn't support equal marriage in 2008, Hillary I believe came out in support of equal marriage in 2014 which was two years after Tulsi Gabbard did. Hillary and Obama were allowed to "evolve" on the issue but Tulsi Gabbard is the devil, fuck off! Her father was an anti gay extremist (such people are more likely to be closeted homosexuals, just throwing it out there) and Tulsi got sucked in to his hate but is now supportive of gay rights. The Human Rights Campaign gave her 90%-100% on GLBT rights. I don't know what else these people want. Before people complain I know Hillary is not responsible for Bill's signing of anti gay legislation, I agree but I don't remember her speaking out at the time either, her record isn't squeaky clean and this was another thing. I didn't want to discuss Hillary Clinton's past or Hillary Clinton at all but people are bitching about Tulsi's past and they were happily supporting Hillary Clinton just three years ago. What the fuck? Tulsi is supportive of Medicare For All and Cannabis legalization. She is generally known as being anti war and has done things like introduced the Stop Arming Terrorists Act and wants out of Afghanistan. However her foreign policy is also problematic. She is OK with drone strikes and even torture under the right circumstances. Maybe she's ignorant on the fact that drone strikes kill up to 90% civilians and torture often leads to the wrong intel. What really pushed me over the edge was learning that Elizabeth Warren might be more willing to regulate corporations more than Tulsi. Tulsi is apparently in favor of less regulations but I have not verified this. If that turns out to be wrong. I will reconsider my position. David Pakman said this but all I can find on Google is Tulsi being supportive of regulations. She also has ties to right-wing nationalists in India; it's possible that she has too much baggage. Gabbord endorsed Bernie in the primaries, Warren did not. This is important as it speaks to her courage. Conclusion, again if she's the last progressive standing I'd pick her but I'd probably wait for the debates to see which progressive I would favor.

I just heard about this. You know Paul Manaford: Trump's Treasonus campaign manager? (apologies for using his name but couldn't resist the word play) It turns out Manaford's lawyer's gave a document to prosecutors but redacted stuff out. Apparently they don't know how to redact effectively as prosecutors could highlight the redacted parts in the computer document that the lawyers sent and the letters showed up. How incompetent is that? Why is everyone even remotely associated with the Buffoon campaign either a criminal or completely incompetent? You can't make this shit up! Apparently money doesn't buy competent people. He was feeding Buffoon's polling data to people in Russia; a surprise to nobody!

The US government is still shut down. I thought Buffoon was a great deal maker. Apparently not.

Everyone thinks Elizabeth Warren is running for President; she formed an exploratory committee which pretty much confirms she is. As I understand it she's a tad to the right of Bernie but they believe similar things. I note she hasn't joined the Justice Democrats and didn't endorse Sanders in the primary. She has been speaking to big cash donors too. On the other hand she's basically responsible for the CFPB and has lectured on economic issues; her lectures are very interesting. I doubt she'd be a neoliberal but how she'll handle the republicans would be critical. If she's not a push over it'll be great and I think she's fairly strong, just needlessly responds to stupid attacks. David Pakman thinks she's not particularly relateable, perhaps give her media training.

I was going to say something positive about Orange Buffoon and the Republicans but the government is shut down because Orange Buffoon had a tantrom over the wall again. Sigh.

The positive things were Buffoon ordered troops out of Syria and a criminal justice reform bill was passed. This is good news.

There's speculation that the Syrian situation was ordered by Putin. However even if true this should be viewed as a positive even if the people making the decision are scumfucks.

The Orange F Buffoon Foundation has been shut down, F for fuckwitt. I just make shit up as I go along. It was ordered to be dissolved because Orange Buffoon was using it as a bank account whenever he felt like it and that's illegal. Lock him up! Lock him up!

I think Ivonka may also be in trouble for hiking the price on Buffoon properties when the Republicans used them for events. She and her husband are also involved in several other lawsuits.

It's really not a good time for the Buffoon family. That makes me happy!

The senate held hearings with the Google CEO recently and it was a bit of a shitshow. 3 senators asked about iPhones; they aren't even made by Google. Luckily I wasn't there as I probably would have called them idiots.

Speaking of idiots the Republican senators wanted to know why a picture of Orange Buffoon shows up when people type idiot into Google Image Search. As someone in the search engine optimization field. Let me explain.

Shortest answer: He's an idiot
Short answer: People think he's an idiot.
Regular answer: People think he's an idiot and regularly use the word idiot near pictures of him. This includes using the word in the content around him, the image file name and the ALT tag. It's possible that the title, the file name and how many links are going to the page has an effect too. I suspect if enough sites do this ones with strong backlink profiles and/or social signals will rise to the top but I could be wrong on this.

Micheal Cohen was sent to prison for three years and has implicated Orange Buffoon in two federal crimes. If this was a Democrat the Republicans would have started impeachment proceeding last year. Orange Buffoon is probably a criminal and needs to be impeached. It doesn't look like it will happen on this occasion as Republicans don't appear to care. The one up side is maybe an alleged criminal president would mean an easier victory for a Democrat in 2020, though it appears you can never rely on the Democrats not to fuck up an election.

Speaking of which, no to Beto O'Rourke. The guy couldn't beat Ted Cruz and the only reason why people bothered with him is that people hated Ted Cruz so much. No to him and no to Richard Ojeda too. Though his straight talking has a better chance of defeating Buffoon who he also voted for, which also tells me he's not the sharpest knife in the draw. However a straight shooter that voted for Buffoon running against Buffoon might be interesting though. However I thought that electing Buffoon would be interesting, and it is but also a total disaster. Doing things based on my morbid curiosity is a bad idea. Both of these guys lost their last races and if you lose against Republicans I get to judge you for it.

The world again laughed at the Buffoon administration as they sent a coal advocate to a meeting on climate change. He was giving a speech, the room started laughing. Apparently the laughter was staged, but it was still a funny clip. There was chanting afterwards but I think that the laughter added something different to the clip.

George H.W. Bush died. Former president, ass grabber, republican. As far as awful Bush presidents, he was the better one. Also possibly the best Republican president since 89. He was still horrible and invaded a country and caused many deaths including by ignoring the AIDS crisis for half of his presidency. His idiot son just caused more damage. George W and Jeb, obviously George H.W. and Barbra had awful genes. Pretty sure if those were my kids I'd get myself fixed.

Orange Buffoon still doesn't believe in climate change, what a fucking idiot. However this really isn't new information or an interesting angle. I would just like to say he's the fucking president and has access to the smartest people alive. instead of asking them he shits out whatever insane crap is in his head in a tweet. Republican politicians are also fucking idiots, they just don't use Twiter. If you were a politician why wouldn't you want to base your policies on the best possible information? I know that money is part of it, but I also genuinely believe they are stupid too. Money just buys the ability for stupid people to get into power. The left need to get their shit together too and just crowd fund the adaptation and development of new technologies. Luckily politicians in other countries are not complete idiots on the issue. We could still do more and need to otherwise we're beyond fucked.

John Kelly is out. Maybe Buffoon worked out how to fire him. There was a story which claimed Orange Buffoon repeatedly tried to fire him but Kelly but Kelly just ignored him and stayed, that story sounds too unbelievable for me but it's Buffoon so who knows. Anyway I hope Buffoon inserts a person who can't control him so even more shit blows up in his face. Get the popcorn!

Brazil has a new lunatic president, he's basically a fascist version of Buffoon, that's pretty fucking fascist. The Amazon is now in jeporady. This will make climate change must worse if they reduce the size of it.
Speaking of Amazon the company Amazon raised its wages to at least $15/hour but when the media was done covering that it took away their stock options. Most employees still get slightly more. But wait there's more. They're opening a new headquarters in New York but have negotiated a deal to get $8,000 per employee. Basically it's welfare to one of the most profitable companies on earth. "Congratulations, you got played!" As someone else points out if the money was directed towards small businesses at least they pay taxes.
I have a message to people who talk about Hillary Clinton running for president. SHUT THE FUCK UP! I am sick of certain progressives constantly bitching about Hillary Clinton, they are as bad as right wingers. If she makes an announcement I'll ridicule her at that time. Until then I am not discussing Hillary Clinton running for president, because she fucking isn't.
Democrats have also picked up a few seats in the House since last week. Although since they still don't have the Senate I'm not sure that this is relevant.
